| - Recent activity on their facebook and twitter page encouraged me to check this place out again. Some of that activity was boasting about their new "lower" prices.
If this is what they consider "lower" prices, I'd hate to see what their original prices were.
Just imagine 7 Eleven, all the same products, but for double the price. 99 cents for one apple, roast beef sandwich (on regular wheat sandwich bread with lettuce tomato and onion) $6, liter of soda $2.49, frozen lasagna (I think the brand was stouffers) $12. Everything was ridiculously overpriced. Even Whole Foods is cheaper.
Their pictures on facebook are great, but don't be fooled, the photog makes the store look about 10 times bigger than it actually is and a lot of the products on the facebook page can't be found in the actual store.
I decided to buy a sandwich for myself and my coworkers thinking maybe it's so expensive because it's so incredibly awesome tasting, but nope. My roast beef was bland, the bread was soggy and there was no special sauce, just a smidgen of mayo. I considered getting a banana, but they were all brown.
Que sad.
The one major plus was the hip hop music they had playing. A nice change from the usual whiny indie hipster rock these downtown joints are playing. And it was also nice to go in and out of a store in Downtown Las Vegas without being hassled by panhandlers.
But maybe they're just smart enough to know that anyone who leaves this store probably doesn't have any money left.
